Dominions

Dominions is Lawrence Lui, who has produced a beautiful collection of electronic home recordings that treads the line between consciousness and unconsciousness. Listening to Dominions is like navigating an unfamiliar road in the fog: simultaneously soothing, hypnotic, and unsettling, it draws you along with glimpses of the landscape, shrouding them in mist and intrigue. The assorted electronics, tapes, pedals, and amplifications create layers of sound that are as inscrutable as they are engaging. "The Lovely and the Talented" is a brief wash of sound, a haunting aural tease. Hold your breath and listen closely. The song is from Dominions' self-titled full-length, co-released on both Roomtone Records and Turnducken Recordings.
